Here’s the latest iteration of my GWEN series
- Avangard Wheat Malt – 52%
- Weyermann Pilsner – 44%
- Avangard Dark Munich – 4%
The brew day was uneventful and went as planned (rare). I used a lot of rice hulls in the mash which undoubtedly helped. For my G30 I always set my strike water temp to 5F above my mash-in temperature. I mashed at 152F for 60 minutes and then mashed out at 168F for 10 minutes.
I pitched a fresh culture of the Weihenstephaner yeast I harvested into my Grainfather Concial fermenter where I fermented at 69F for 14 days. Trub dumps were performed on day 4 & 10. I cold crashed for 2 days at 39F. On kegging day I harvested yeast and performed a pressure transfer to keg.
After about 3 weeks in the keg this brew is rather tasty and does lean more towards banana than clove; which I prefer. I’m going to have to brew this again quick, it’s going fast.
